Shell Shock:
Summed up in a few short words, shell shock is the battle fatigue. It is a mental disorder caused by the stress of active warfare and death all around the soldiers. It frequently caused depression or insanity. Some of the tougher men managed to come back home with a sane mind while others either came back completely changed or didn't come back at all.
Trench Warfare:
WWI is widely known for the type of warfare the soldiers used. They fought using trench warfare tactics. The opposing armies would dig a trench in the ground and then lob explosives at each other using howitzers, trench mortars, and other early weapons.

Conditions:
All around the soldiers there was constant death and noise. One would have to get used to short naps in between attacks. Animals such as rats, lice, and frogs would spread disease and soiled food. Latrines were either nonexistent or normally overfilled. The air always reeked of carcasses, unwashed men, poison gas (thrown by the opposing army) and filth (as in overflowing latrines)

While disease was the major killer, gas attacks were the greatest fear.
many of the European countries assumed that the war would be short, a few weeks, etc. since all of the wars for 50 years had been that short...

What did woman do in factories in World War 2?
When we think of war you probably think of men fighting on a battlefield.People think they did all the work... But in World War Two woman were very important. Without women the war would have been a disaster. Who made the airplanes,who made the bombs and who risked their lives to help the war. Woman did! Some of the work like making bombs was very dangerous so they had to be careful. They also provided the men with food,drink and clothing.

What would the world be like if World War 1 was won by the Triple Alliance?
I think that if the war had been won by the Germans they would have continued on until the whole world was run by them or until someone finally beat them. Our world would be a lot less free and very much different from the way it is now. I think that if the other group had one they would have began to take over Russia and the other places like that although I don't think that was their plan in the first place.
